- answer
- The name as it is commonly written, as plain UTF-8 text of at most 32 bytes, right-padded with zero bytes into the bytes32 field. For example Tony Blair is 0x546f6e7920426c616972 followed by 44 zeros. Do not hash the text and do not abbreviate beyond common usage.
- source
- Answer from a reputable public source you actually read (an official government, parliament or institution site, Britannica, or a major news archive) and name it.
- missing
